Mark Hamill: Carrie Fisher Star Wars tribute is 'therapy'

Disney CEO Bob Iger said in March that the filmmakers were "not changing (The Last Jedi) to deal with her passing".

Rey begins her Jedi training.

. Even if they had to reduce her role significantly, we still think that she should have been included in Star Wars: Episode IX somehow.

The Force Awakens ended with Rey and Skywalker meeting on a remote island.

Earlier on Friday, Kennedy confirmed that The Last Jedi will be Carrie's last Star Wars film. "She's owned by them", he said. In "The Force Awakens", Adam Driver's Kylo Ren has turned to the dark side after being tutored by Luke. The film is slated to hit theaters in the United States on December 15. "She went from being an unknown actress, the daughter of Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, to Princess Leia..." However, Kennedy ensured that we would see a lot of Leia in "Eight", "which is great".

Although they never dated, Hamill admitted on the panel "A part of me did fall in love with her". The first trailer for the new film is just over 2 minutes and doesn't give much when it comes to storyline, but it does manage to whet our appetite and get us excited for more. Luke Skywalker's rocky residence-in-exile recalls Chateau d'If, the actual Mediterranean French fortress-prison where the protagonist of "The Count of Monte Cristo" is incarcerated for years, plotting his revenge. "Sadly, Carrie will not be in nine", Kennedy said.

The teaser clip appears to feature a glimpse of late actress Carrie Fisher. "I'm trying to use you as therapy to get through this". Anakin's mother Shmi claimed her child had no father (and was basically an immaculate Force conception) but that's always sounded like a load of bantha fodder to me. With that said, here is everything we learned about Star Wars: The Last Jedi at Star Wars Celebration. This led many to believe that Lucasfilm might take the CGI route and recreate her digitally, though that rumor was put to bed pretty quickly.
